Technically waiting
As predicted, 2011 is going to be yet another buzzing year in the world of tech. Enthusiasts waiting with bated breath for the much awaited gadgets and software to finally arrive for them to drool upon. Our drool list includes both confirmed and rumoured big bang releases in the near future.

Apple iPad 2
The iPad came and conquered and Apple is already itching to rub in their victory with a newer version of their successful tablet device. The iPad 2 launch in 2011 makes more sense for Apple in the face of a deluge of Android devices flooding the market.

Chrome OS
The future of computing is on the cloud and Google wants a first mover's advantage. It has already displayed its Chrome OS and the first laptops powered by the operating system are expected to be out in the second half of the year.

HP's webOS tablet
Many believe that the webOS is the best mobile operating system around and when it comes up in a tablet avatar, the competition would have something to be worried about. Some activity around the webOS tablet is expected as early as February.

Android Honeycomb
We have seen the first of the Android Honeycomb driven tablets at CES 2011 and everyone is waiting for when the sales begin. So long manufacturers have used the Android meant for mobile phones to run tablet devices and now when an Android for tablets is ready to roll, the market equations may tilt.
